Incredible wedding make up artist!

Words can’t describe how happy I am that I chose Juliet as my bridal make up artist! From the first trial I had to the last minute touch ups on the big day she had me feeling at ease and also delivered on a beautiful face of make up that lasted the whole day and night, but that I also felt myself in! Each of the bridal party members she did make up for loved her work, even the ones who were more particular with how they would normally do their own make up. We explored different make up options for myself and it was easy to talk through my likes and dislikes to get the perfect final look on the day. She was also so much fun to have there on the day, got in with everyone and helped build the right energy for a very special morning. I couldn’t recommend Juliet more!

Incredibly talented, professional bridal make up artists

Juliet is not only an incredibly talented make up artist, but also a very genuine and kind person. I have had the privilege of Juliet being my make up artists 3 times, most recently for my own wedding day. As I had been to her previously, I knew there was no one else I would want to or trust with doing my bridal make up. In my make up trial, she took the time to understand my skin and my own make up preferences. We discussed what would suit my dress, hair and venue for the wedding as well as taking into account my own vision for my bridal make up. She created the most perfect look for me, which worked seamlessly from day to night. Juliet even checks how the make up will photograph on both a professional camera and iPhone- this is an absolute must for any make up artist to do! On the morning of my wedding, Juliet worked her magic on myself, 4 bridesmaids and the mother of the bride, with a wide range of ages, skin types and preferences. Yet, she made each of us look and feel beautiful and comfortable, adapting products and colours where needed. This was especially important for my mum (who is in her 60’s and never wears make up) and for a teenage bridesmaid who didn’t want to look too over the top. All of our make up stayed on perfectly all day, she even gave each of us some of the lipstick so we could top up when needed! Juliet worked seamlessly with our other suppliers, never fell behind schedule and kept us all calm and relaxed throughout the morning. She also has some amazing stories to tell! Thank you for making me feel so confident and beautiful on my wedding day- you will always be top of the list for any make up recommendations!

Wedding makeup for bride and mother of the bride

Juliet was brilliant at both the trial and on the wedding day. I have severe allergies to lots of products and Juliet was so understanding and we checked the ingredients of everything she was using together. I had no reactions at all to the trial makeup or the wedding day makeup.

On top of this, she made my mum feel really beautiful on the wedding day, and she was quite nervous about wearing a full face of makeup.

Thanks so much!

Felt so beautiful!

Juliet was absolutely fantastic. From the wedding trial to the day itself, Juliet made us all feel so special and beautiful. She matched the colors perfectly to each person and made sure everyone felt fantastic. My makeup stayed on all day and sparkled all night. My mum was a bit nervous about having her makeup done, but Juliet made it a wonderful experience and everyone complimented her on her makeup. Thank you so much, Juliet! You the wedding morning so fun! You were just perfect!!

Brilliant make up artist

Juliet did such an amazing job getting myself and 3 bridesmaids ready for my wedding day. From my trial through to the wedding day she was brilliant at making everyone feel comfortable with their look and of course we all looked absolutely amazing. As someone who isn't a confident make up wearer, Juliet made me feel the best version of myself and made me feel completely at ease. She even helped me once I had my dress on and stayed right until it was time to leave. I would 100% recommend Juliet

Wonderful make up

I booked Juliet after meeting her at a wedding fair at our venue. I have rosacea, which can flare up in times of stress and I was concerned about how that might affect my wedding make up. Juliet was able to put me at ease and after looking at more pictures of her work, I knew she would be great and she was! She is full of energy and created a lovely atmosphere on the morning. I had some concerns after our trial about shading/how heavy the make up might be but she was very happy to take my concerns into account and on the day it was absolutely perfect. She also did a wonderful job on my bridesmaids and mum. Thank you!

Autumnal wedding

Juliet did my wedding make up, 4 bridesmaids and a flower girl. Juliet was beyond amazing. She made everyone relaxed and worked so well with the bridesmaid of all ages. She made sure that all timings were adhered to and answered all queries and questions promptly. Juliet was very professional and took the time to find out exactly what everyone wanted and made sure everyone's make up was to their taste. I couldn't recommend Juliet highly enough.

So glad I chose Juliet to do my bridal makeup

I knew the moment she started to talk that she was the right makeup artist for me. She was easy to talk to, had plenty of tips and my makeup trial went better than I expected. I asked for smokey dramatic eyes after seeing some of her work on IG and she delivered.

On the day of my wedding, I decided to go for a different lippy which wasn't a problem and she found the right shade for me and my style with ease. My bridesmaids all said how pleased they were with their makeup, and how it lasted all night. We all felt comfortable and loved her entertaining stories! Would definitely recommend

Perfect professionalism

I chose Juliet to do my bridal makeup based on reviews I'd read about her skills. I wasn't disappointed! Juliet saw me ahead of my wedding to discuss what I wanted. I found her incredibly knowledgable, professional, friendly and ultimately the right lady to do my makeup for our special day. I highly recommend Juliet. You won't be disappointed. Joanne

Makeup Magician

I have known Juliet several years and she has done my makeup for two weddings (plus two trials).
My brief to Juliet for my daughter’s wedding on Friday was “bold and glam” as I have just had surgery and haven’t felt great so needed a confidence boost on the day.
She made me look and feel a million dollars and exceeded my expectations. My makeup, and all girls in the bridal party lasted all day and night. Apart from touching up my lipstick I didn’t need to do anything. It looked as fresh at midnight as it had at midday.
Juliet is amazing at her craft and delivered the perfect look for our bridal party (the bride, three bridesmaids, mother of the groom and myself).
She works with not only high end cosmetics (Dior, Charlotte Tilbury, MAC etc) but also high street affordable brands as well and talks through the application of the makeup and why she has chosen the shades and colours)
She is so friendly and personable and great fun and everyone in our bridal party thought she was exceptional.
I have no hesitation in recommending Juliet to any bride who is looking for a professional and talented makeup artist.

Amazing! 🤩

Juliet did my make up 12 years ago, and it was amazing then! And I just knew, as soon as I started planning our big day, that I had to have her! She did not disappoint. She made me feel a million pounds! Her work is indescribable and I got so many compliments 🥹 I wish I didn’t have to take it off! Even at 4AM it was still as bright and vibrant as it was in the morning! She did 6 peoples make up on the morning of my wedding, the timing, the laughs, the care that went into it was perfect. Just need another occasion to have my make up done again now! 😬🤣

Highly recommend

Juliet did the make up for my wedding, including two adult bridesmaids. Our make up trial was a great success and the actual day was no exception. Juliet went above and beyond and could not have been more helpful. We all looked amazing and we looked as good at the end of the night as we did at the beginning. Exceptional!

Mrs Maddy Aird

Juliet is an incredible make up artist, she completely listens to your wishes, gives super helpful advice and creates something so utterly perfect and beautiful that makes you feel the most amazing you’ve ever felt. From the moment I contacted Juliet last year to book her for my wedding she took so much care and time to understand what I wanted as well as to find out what my usual make up look was, at the trial we had the most fun and she completely put me at ease (as someone who doesn’t wear a lot of make up I was understandably nervous) but Juliet made me feel so relaxed and listened to that all that all my worries disappeared instantly. Juliet is also super fun to have around on your wedding morning and her stories and anecdotes will have you laughing that you won’t have the chance to feel nervous. I would 100% recommend Juliet for your bridal make it - she is just incredible!! Thank you so so much xx

Best wedding make up artist

Thank you Juliet for the incredible makeup for my wedding, our wedding party really enjoyed the experience and the make up was natural and beautiful and stayed on all day and night. You also did a wonderful make up on my mum who was hesitant at first to have makeup but thrilled with the result. A lovely lady to have on your wedding morning thank you, and trial really put me at ease as I knew it would be perfect on the day.
